Adding dried seaweed to the compost pile

I picked up some seaweed at the beach the other day and was wondering what to expect once it was added to my compost.
ItâÂÂs a brown right?
Most of its dried from the sun and there is no smell to it. I washed out most of the sand. Then filled the buckets with fresh water and left them that way over night. This morning I added them to my compost pile.
